One of them was quite good, actually. Whoever wrote it made no technical errors and it included the kind of address specific info that one would expect (in particular, it gave a memory map of the alledged new "400x[320/640]" modes). It made good reading and it may indeed turn out that the IIGS+ fits the description (if the IIGS+ ever materializes) but there is NO PROOF of ANY of it being true. While I'm sure we all enjoyed the first few rumor files I suspect that they are beginning to aggravate a number of people. Until there is some substantiated information I suggest that we keep this kind of nonsense off of the net. ...and I thought my .sig was long. Really, Jason, that is too much. Lose the border and I think you'll keep Lord Morgan satisfied :-). My .sig looks really long but that's only because I squeezed everything together to save bytes... (remember, spaces and border take up just as much space as real info) ----the Second part---- >The ideas that software must "require" 7 MHz to produce sales of an >accelerator board, and that AE should produce such software, are off the >mark.

You are right, of course, when you say that it still may be worthwhile to get the card to enhance current software.
